OH MY!

What a week it has been! It started off with a nice summery bang. We went to the local sprayground and let the kids run around. Drew raced around and jumped over the water in true Lightning McQueen fashion.

Brinley ran through the water trying not to get her face wet. Can’t really blame her…she got sprayed up the nose once, and that’s all it takes!

We took a bike ride to Drew’s future school. We had to test out the playground and make sure Drew was ready for Kindy. What do you think?

I am pretty sure Brinley passed the test too, she is bummed that she still has 2 years to go. That’s okay…two more years to work on perfecting her fashion sense.

I think Drew is channeling his inner Spiderman in this shot.

Twiggy went along for the ride. She wasn’t too interested in playing so she caught up on her zzzzz’s…

And that brings us to rashes. What fun. Both kids has unusual reactions to their immunizations last week. Brinley’s leg swelled up, and Drew came down with erythema multiforme on his extremities. It is really quite lovely looking, although NOT contagious (whew!). Drew thinks he has polka-dots, that’s a much nicer way to put it.

To finish the week off, we attempted a trip to my happy place (aka Costco) only to discover that Sally (the minivan) wasn’t going to make the trip, she’s come down with an illness of her own. The kids were quick to offer a prayer in her behalf. We took her to the “doctor” today, and they will have her fixed right up. It’ll cost more than we’d like, but hey – it could be worse. That’s what I am trying to tell myself anyway.

Thank goodness for sweet, faithful children…
